RE: Difference in roll performance
Lateral balance - Check - No weight required
The plane is a tad nose heavy (helps with ground handling), but the c/g is well within the recommended limits
The tail swings into the roll. If I was to measure it somehow, it looks as if the tail is making a 1ft circle while the nose stays centered.
It just seems funny to me that it only happens when I roll to the Rt. If I am adding elevator, then crap, I'm the dummy! But anyhow, when I get a chance this evening, I’ll measure the distance from wingtip to the tip of the vertical stab and see what I get. Also, I have attempted to knife-edge this thing, it won't hold it, but the nose drops off at a pretty consistent rate either Rt or Lt, no difference in the sink rate or habits. This plane doesn't like rudder as it is, and I try to stay away from it unless I need to crab for a crosswind, and when I do use it, I better be ready with opposite aileron to compensate. Rudder alone will flip it on its back in a heartbeat, so I can’t give any better info on any rudder habits, sorry.
Thanks for the info fellas, Spit
